Oh Kerry! Have you tried soft boiled egg yolk? Sometimes I can get a
cat that's not eating to eat that. The broth is a good idea, are you
making your own? When I make broth for someone who's not eating I
reduce it and reduce it until it becomes gelatinous when cooled. I
figure it's got more nutrients that way. You know better than most of
us that miraculous recoveries happen all the time. Hang in there, we're
with you and Buster. (I'm so glad he's drinking!). C'mon Buster!!!
How about slippery elm for nausea?

Thanks, Belinda. I do have the milk thistle, but what is the other
you mentioned..and where do I get it...Yesterday morning when he threw
up just the liquid, it had the milk thistle in it..so the rest of the
day I was trying to get him to eat anything...I thought it might be ok
to leave off the supps and just try to get him to eat something..I
tried everything...he would only take a bite or 2 of any of it.. I did
finally get him to drink some chicken broth with a little meat in
it..He also finally started going to the water bowl on his own..he has
always drank alot of water so I was getting concerned about that until
he started going on his own..He did make it to the litter box a few
times, too..but he is so wobbly and just tires out really easy..He has
lost so much weight in the last week. This all came on so sudden.
Rapid weight loss and all of it...I do hope he will eat some more
today..I did read that we should stay away from fishy things and oily
foods...So I am going to try turkey, chicken, eggs and cottage cheese
for now in hopes that he will get some strength back...
Another thing that shocked me...as bad as he feels, he went to the
scratching post and looked as if he was going to tear it up..Guess
that is a good thing..
Anyway, please keep him in your prayers...This is going to be a tough
one, I'm afraid,
Kerry, Bandy and Buster
